Anyone with medical experience will tell you that that look means he is roughly an instant away from dying, and quite possibly did moments after the photo was taken.

You can tell, since you can see by the shape of his cheeks that they normally were more round and puffed out. They pull in when they no longer get oxygen to the blood vessels in them. There's also a difference between wide eyes, and dying eyes. That's the look of someone seeing his maker. Period. Even if the site doesn't report it.

IronJelly:not kidding at all, as far as you know i am a doctor. RIP drunk dude. May the officer holding your forehead when you expired be charged with your murder.

Hello. My name is Sean. (Hello Sean) It's been 30 days since my last drink. I knew I had a problem when the cops had to hold my head up for a booking photo. While that may be an issue, seeing thousands of Black Widow spiders running up the cops arm towards you is a completely different problem.

I knew then that I had a problem. I went in to Detox but I was so drunk, they sent my to De-detox. I had to be placed in a coma because the visions and false sensations of rabid dogs eating my feet was all too real to me.

They brought me out of the coma this morning so technically, I have been clean and sober for 30 days. So, uh, who's up for a drink? I could sure use one.

swahnhennessy:What the f*ck? Guy gets picked up for public intoxication and the local news, with obviously nothing better to do than chase page hits with bulsh*t, publishes his booking photo?

"He dun look funny drunk!"

What I tried to say, you said better.

Look, I'm all for publishing booking photos when it's a convicted pedophile who's coming out of the joint after 20 years - in that case, you want to know who to look out for (or, depending on your 2nd Amendment stance, who you want to point your dad's Model 19 service revolver at with your daughter cowering behind you). There is no valid public service in shaming this man by publishing a pathetic image of him online. None.

Bravo on getting a national audience for your asshattery, KTRK. Well done.

I'm pretty sure the valid public service is allowing us all to laugh at a belligerent drunk.

'Round here they are published on the county sheriff's website, but a non affiliated website publishes them in chronological order for easy perusal and search after the person has been released from county lockup.

Could this be an invasion of privacy or unfair? Sure, it could be, but it is fairly or unfairly a public record.

Plus, looking through the mugshots has become a daily source of amusement for me and many others.

Embden.Meyerhof:Actually, he's probably trying to double over in pain due to the wrist-lock they have on his right arm.

This. It doesn't appear that he was so drunk they had to hold his head up.... it looks more like he was so drunk that he was fighting them and they had to encourage him with the wrist lock to stay in the correct pose.
